Software updates are available to all Clients & Profits X registered users with current support subscriptions. Updates are not available as stand-alone installers or on CD. An internet connection is required to download software updates.

System managers will be notified via e-mail whenever a software update is released.

Only users with access to Software Update can update their own copy of Clients & Profits X. Access to software update is turned off by default in the Users, Access & Passwords window. Access to software update can be assigned on a per-user basis, giving the system managers better control over how Clients & Profits X is updated. Do note that reorganization of the database is often necessary after installing updates and should not be done across the network.

Since Clients & Profits X is a multi-user application, it's important that everyone always use the same version of the software. Since some system managers prefer to test a new update with a backup copy of the agency's database first, Clients & Profits X doesn't automatically check for software updates. This also helps ensure that everyone in the shop is using the same version.
